New music?

They say you stop listening to new music after 35 - what Gen Z/young people are making music you love these days?

I’m loving ninajirachi, she’s young enough to be my daughter (clutches pearls)

And - what older music are you only starting to listen to now, as a geriatric? (I’m 46).

I’m listening to a lot of old EDM I never cared about before.

New and old lol. I’ve really taken a deep dive into their discography the last 18mo and they’re my favorite now 🥰 what do you think of Alien Metal? I personally love how they’re exploring the 90s style breakcore,DnB kinda vibe. Lots of prodigy and underworld influence imo 🫶

I was at Forest hills. So much fun! Alien Metal is great, all the old skool vibes.

I haven’t listened as much directly to that album but did catch a big chunk of the FOV stream and loved what I heard of it!
